Listening to Live With Me from Glasgow (audience recording on Hot Stuff) I got the feeling that Charlie f#cked up at the end (he went longer than usual and got Mick confused), I realized that that's the only f#ck up I can think from Charlie. I can definitely think of a few from each other Stones but Charlie rarely seems to make mistakes. Does anyone know of any big f#ck ups from Charlie?

Charlie is Sacred around here ...watch out bro......

Charlie can't f#ck up ... ;-))

uh... I love Charlie, I'm not bashing him. Read the post again bro.

It wasn't Charlie who f*cked up-it was the rest of the band!

Charlie, Charlie,Charlie!!

There's been a lot, ofcourse, after 43 years of touring. She's So Cold from Wembley 1982 wss pretty bad.

Et Tu Gecko??

How about Sympathy in Ottawa, last summer... Half of the song without Charlie behind his drums. It turned out to be a technical issue with these damn loops... So of course, it's excused. Not the loops though :0)

Keith the beast, I don't wanna bash you, please recognize my smilies ;-)

On Ya Ya's, he came in about a millisecond late at the beginning of JJF. Also, same album, on Midnight Rambler, he hits one of the toms a bit to early when the whole band comes in again, after the belt-hitting-the-stage segment, when Mick sings "everybody got to go . . .". But those are hardly f#&k ups.

He, of course, is the best!

just listen to the mistakes of Bill during JJF!! But doesn't matter. My fav.

Not only is He sacred, He is closest to the presence of THE SACRED PLEXIGLASS!!

1. On Hampton 81 or someting, he doesn't end with the rest of the band on Let's Spend The Night Together, the song. He continues playing for a bar or two after the ending.

2. During Gimme Shelter on one of the Perth shows from 1973, he struggles to come into the right rythm for the first half of the song. He's half a bar behind the rest of the band. Actually, this is one of my favourite versions of this song, not because of the screw up, but in spite of-, I suppose.

3. On one of the Love In Vains in Philly in 1972, he does some strange timing mistake during Taylor's last solo I think it was. This mistake makes this version of this song's solo bit fantastic, it sort of explodes during and just after that moment.

4. During the 81 - 82 tour he, and everybode else, made lots of mistakes. The used to be a clip on rockpassion.com were he and Keith don't manage to get the rythm right on She's So Cold. That could be Keith's fault mainly though, and it was hillariuos rather than having a cool exploding effect, like LIV mentioned above had.

These days, and since 1989, Charlie doesn't make much mistakes.

Charlie did a mistake at the very last sec of Let's Spend The Night Together in Hampton 1981, it was edited out from Still Life.

Gene Krupa fvcked up once when he banged Virgina Hill...

"Rocks Off", Twickenham 2003

To f#ck things up is what rock'n'roll is all about!...hope you got much to tell us here yo Stones-Fans fellas...

and from the True But Irrelevant Department:
ever notice how the butterflies at Hyde Park loved Charlie? :E

Little Queenie's intro on Get Yer Ya Ya's Out

Tumbling Dice's intro on Exile

If you listen to the intro of Start Me Up (the studio recording) Charlie comes in on the third beat of the bar.

Nick B that is actually one of the moments that still makes SMU interesting to me.
There is one outright @#$%&-up that Charlie does; and it is "I;m free" on December's Children". And it is odd to find how sometimes he struggles to undretsand, what seems like a very straightforward idea by Jagger or Keith. When listening to the outtake jams, boots from studio sessions. EG the well known SFTD sessions where they can't get it together. I would not call some of them f.ups because they were still trying to find the vibe for thre song, but nevertheless he keeps messing up going into the chorus.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

that is actually one of the moments that still makes SMU interesting to me.

That's probably why they kept it.

Speaking as a drummer, most examples mentioned here can hardly be called mistakes. Charlie is indeed a very reliable drummer. I love his groove.
The turning around of the beat on some intro's (Start Me Up, Little Queenie) seem to be a deliberate thing. She's so cold from Wembley 82 is a genuine f*ckup by everyone involved, it seems to take ages before everything falls back in place again. But then again with over 40 years of live performing history there's bound to be some mistakes on record. Just goes to show they're only human....

What? One or two bars? That would mean he's totally out of sync

LOL you all should be lucky to have as many Fvck ups like Charlie's ......................

But that's not a @#$%& up, that's actually really cool.
